AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque required for a sphere to exit a countersink, the key factors include the force applied by the spring, the dimensions of the sphere, and the geometry of the countersink. The spring exerts a force of 76.26N at a compression of 11.6mm, while the sphere has a fixed diameter of 6.0mm and the countersink measures 0.5mm with a 45° angle. Understanding the interaction between these components is crucial for determining the torque in Newton-meters (Nm) needed to prevent motor issues in a coffee milling appliance. Additional clarification or visual aids may be necessary for precise calculations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these variables in ensuring effective operation.

I need help (in a very simple way) due to calculate the torque needed to let a sphere coming out of a countersink.
I'll try to explain better my application with the components involved:
1. a spring that apply a Force F=76.26N (nominal length 14mm) at 11.6mm of compression: these values could be variable;
2. a ball bearing sphere 6.0mm diameter: this is a fixed value;
3. a countersink of 0.5mm x 45° in a 5.0mm hole (the height and the angle could be variable);
The spring push the sphere inside the countersink hole.
The countersink holes are cnc in a coffee milling appliance and I need to know the torque in Nm to let the sphere coming out of the countersink (this is used to avoid problems on the driving motor).
If needed I can try explain better with a drawing.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
